Solution: use the flour on the inside for structure and glue on the outside for the smoothness etc. That is of course if you're doing more than 1 layers :)

Flour/water paste is a lot smoother if you a) used about a quarter of the flour, b) Make a well in the flour, pour a little water into the well and gradually incorporate flour from around the sides, adding more water as needed then lumps should not form but if they do, either strain or blitz the mixture until it's completely lump free c) Keep adding water until the mixture is quite thin in viscosity then d) boil the mixture until it's translucent. e) leave to cool down. You'll be surprised how a little flour goes a long way and how much more pleasant it is to work with warm paste than cold, especially on a cool day.

Fyi: you can use pepper as an alternative to salt in the recipe. It might taste different though

Put a marble in the balloon before you blow it up so it will help keep it steady when you apply the first few strips :) I had no idea you could paper mache with flour. Thanks for sharing !

If I remember correctly, it's a smoother transition from piece to piece if you use torn pieces of paper.

If you're going to be storing your flour-based project somewhere that it may be susceptible to mice, like a garage, throw a bit of cayenne pepper into the flour mixture as well, that helps deter the paper predators! :)

For the flower recipe, you can take a damp sponge to wipe away access paste to make it smooth, and I put a few coats of mod podge to strengthen it after it dries

Always told as a kid If you do your first layer with just wet paper, it releases from the balloon or mould alot easier when dry. Nice vid

I hands down prefer the glue recipe. I apply the glue with a brush...much faster and neater than dipping the paper strip and then wiping it off with fingers. Also, for me the glue method dries much, much faster than the flour recipe does...but instead of Elmer's school glue I used Alene's, and it was thinned a little more than in this video. Use the brush to smooth out the paper on your armature, as you work the glue gives the paper more elasticity than the flour recipe and results in a much smoother surface...that's been my experience. Yeah, you do have to apply more layers, but for me it's far more worth the effort. I'll only add that every artist/crafts person develops their own method...so don't hesitate to experiment to achieve what suits you best.

DYING over the newspaper's "have SEX again" title on your green glue balloon. Ha! I didn't leave with those kind of tips, but thank you so much for reminding me how easy it is to make paper mache!

If you use cold water it will be less likely to clump up. When I make my flour and water roux for gravy I always use cold water and I have no lumps in my gravy.

Came to get piñata tips. Going to make one that looks like a coronavirus germ so we can beat the hell out of it at my daughter's graduation party.

I prefer flour and newspaper. I need the firmness. I tried a recipe online that suggested glue and paper towel. All was a waste for me. I've used flour and newspaper in the past and it worked wonderfully. Thanks on the salt tip. We're making the solar system so the bumps won't hurt! Subscribed! 💜

Years ago my mother-in-law taught me the flour method, I made frog heads for Halloween costumes! They lasted for years and made great memories for my daughter and her cousin!

Professional cooks know that to get a smooth flour mix easily you start with COLD water then when smooth add hot water to thicken .

I like to use the flour glue that you boil. I made many projects with it and by putting at least 4 to 5 layers, I got a very hard surface that could crack a skull. I made doll rocks for doll photography to vessels (bowls). They were a lot of fun and very messy. My flour vases or bowls I would put in the oven for an hour or two at 100 degrees to aid in drying and yes, it was fun and gave me many ideas..

How fun it is to be in my room working on the biggest project I’ve ever made and jamming out to the most high energy songs ever while getting mad at the paper for not drying fast enough. I love being a kid

I think it's clear
First apply flour
Then apply glue

[thewhiteknight]

If the paste is thin, it only becomes a problem if you apply over three layers per session. If you use the traditional glue recipe you need to apply 3 layers at most, wait a day or so for them to completely dry and then apply the next 3. If you need to apply many layers for structural support, apply the paper mache 3 layers at a time. That way the base will not collapse and drying will happen all the way to the core☺️
